TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a new manufacturing method for phosphonate esters, which have utility as a carbon-carbon binding formation agent, as well as a synthesis intermediate for biologically active substances such as medical drugs and agri-chemicals.

[0002] It has been known that the basic skeleton of the phosphonate esters can be found in nature and by using enzymes, etc., it shows biological activity. For example, through an additive reaction to the carbonyl compounds, the Horner-Emmons reaction is efficiently achieved, and therefore it has been widely used as a synthesizing method for various olefins, and as a synthesizing method for polyenes, which are often found in natural substances for the case of allylphosphonate esters. Therefore, phosphonate esters are effective as carbon-carbon binding formation reagents, and in particular they are compounds that are effective as the synthetic intermediate for medical drugs and agri-chemicals.

BACKGROUND ART

[0003] As a method of synthesizing phosphonate esters along with the formation of a carbon-phosphorus bond, in general, the method in which the corresponding halide is substituted with trialkylphosphite has been known. However, with this method, different types of halide compounds are formed along with the reaction and a large volume of by-products are generated. In addition, halides newly generated through the reaction additionally react with the trialkylphophite, so that a disadvantage is that a large volume of sub-products is created. Therefore, the method of the prior art cannot be said to be an industrially advantageous method.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The present invention was created by taking the above-mentioned circumstances into account and its objective is to provide an industrially advantageous manufacturing method for phosphonate esters in which the phosphonate esters of the subject can be obtained with a high yield through a simple operation with a minimum of side reaction or sub-products.

[0005] In order to avoid the above-mentioned issues, the present invention was conducted after a diligent study of the reaction of secondary phosphonate esters and alkenes that are easy to obtain, and consequently, it was found that the addition reaction advances in the presence of various transition metal mediums, and phosphonate esters can be obtained with a high yield, thereby achieving the present invention.

[0006] In addition, as a result of a diligent study of the reaction of secondary cyclic phosphonate esters and dienes, which are easy to obtain, it was found that the addition reaction advances in the presence of various palladiums, and the new allylphosphonate esters have a high yield and the present invention was completed.

[0007] In other words, the present invention has characteristics such that in the presence of a transition metal medium, an alkene compound expressed by the general formula (I):

R¹R²C═CR³R⁴  (I)

[0008] (In the formula, each of R¹ to R⁴ individually represents, a hydrogen atom, alkyl group, cycloalkyl group, aryl group or aralkyl group. Also, R¹ and R⁴ can be combined to form an alkylene group.)

[0009] is reacted with a secondary phosphonate ester expressed by the general formula (II):

HP(O)(OR⁵)(OR⁶)  (II)

[0010] (In the formula, each of R⁵ and R⁶ individually represents an alkyl group, cycloalkyl group, aralkyl group, or aryl group. Also, R⁵ and R⁶ can be combined to form an alkylene group with a substitute group.)

[0011] It is the invention of a manufacturing method for phosphonate esters expressed as the general formula (III):

R¹R²CH—CR³R⁴[P(O)(OR⁵)(OR⁶)]  (III)

[0012] (In the formula, each of R¹ to R⁶ is the same as above.).

[0013] Furthermore, the present invention is characterized such that in the presence of palladium, a diene compound expressed by the general formula (IV):

R¹¹R¹²C═CR¹³—CR¹⁴═CR¹⁵R¹⁶  (IV)

[0014] (In the formula each of R¹¹ to R¹⁶ individually represents a hydrogen atom, alkyl group, cycloalkyl group, aryl group or aralkyl group. Also, R¹¹ and R¹⁶ can be combined to form an alkylene group or cyclo alkylene group.) is reacted with a secondary cyclic phosphonate ester expressed by the general formula (V):

HP(O)X  (V)

[0015] (In the formula, X shows the divalent group of —OC(R¹⁷R¹⁸)—C(R¹⁹R²⁰)O—. Here, each of R¹⁷ to R²⁰ shows a hydrogen atom, alkyl group, cycloalkyl group, or aryl group.) It is the invention of a manufacturing method for allyphosphonate esters expressed by the general formula (VI):

R¹¹R¹²CH—CR¹³═CR¹⁴—CR¹⁵R¹⁶[P(O)X]  (VI)

[0016] (In the formula, R¹¹ to R¹⁶ and X are the same as above.)

[0017] Furthermore, it is an invention for allylphosphonate esters expressed by the general formula (VI):

[0038] In order to efficiently promote the reaction of the alkene compound expressed by the general formula (I) and the secondary phosphonate esters expressed by the general formula (II), the use of a transition metal medium is essential. When there is no medium, the reaction does not advance or is extremely slow. A medium with a variety of structures can be used, but those with a low valence are preferable, and transition metal mediums that are carried by carriers such as an active carbon or silica, or a transition metal medium in which a variety of ligands are coordinated can be used. In particular, nickel, palladium and rhodium are the preferable transition metals. A zerovalent complex with a ligand of a tertiary phosphine or a tertiary phosphine is even more preferable as the nickel or palladium medium, and a monovalent complex is even more preferable as the rhodium complex. In addition, it is a desirable means to use an appropriate precursor complex that can be easily converted to a low valence complex in the reaction system. Moreover, it is a desirable means to have a complex that does not contain a tertiary phosphine or tertiary phosphine as a ligand, and where a tertiary phosphine and phosphite are used together, and a low valence complex with a ligand of a tertiary phosphine or phosphite is formed in the reaction system. In either of the above-mentioned methods, examples of the ligand that has the most advantageous properties are, a variety of tertiary phosphines and tertiary phosphites. However, those with extremely strong electron donor levels are not necessarily advantageous in terms of reaction speed. Examples of desirable ligands are, triphenylphophine, diphenylmethylphosphine, phenyldimethylphosphine, 1,4-bis (diphenylphosphino) butane, 1,3-bis (diphenylphosphino) propane, 1,2-bis (diphenylphosphino) ethane, 1,1′-bis (diphenylphosphino) ferrocene, trimethylphosphite, and triphenylphosphite. Examples of a complex that do not have a tertiary phosphine or tertiary phospite as a ligand, which are used in combination with the above are, a bis (1,5-cyclooctadiene) nickel complex, a bis (dibenzylideneacetone) palladium complex, palladium acetate complex, a chloro (1,5-cyclooctadiene) rhodium complex, and a chloro (norbornaediene) rhodium complex, however it is not limited to the above. Examples of a phosphine complex and a phosphite complex that are preferably used are, a tetrakis (triphenylphosphine) nickel complex, a dimethylbis (triphenylphosphine) palladium complex, a dimethylbis (diphenylmethylphophine) palladium complex, tetrakis (triphenylphosphine) palladium complex and a chlorotris (triphenylphosphine) rhodium complex.

[0039] One of two or more appropriate transition metal mediums, depending on the reaction are used.

[0040] The amount of these transition metal mediums can acceptably be called a medium amount, and in general, it is sufficient to be 20 mol % or less per alkene compound. The usage ratio of the alkene compound and the secondary phosphonate esters is, in general, desired to be a 1:1 mole ratio, however, being greater or less than this value does not hinder the promotion of the reaction. A medium does not need to be used during the reaction, however, it is possible to be carried out in a medium as required. Examples of mediums that are generally used are, for instance, a hydrocarbon system medium such as benzene, toluene, xylene, n-hexane, cyclohexane, or for instance, an ether solvent such as dimethylether, diethylether, diisopropylether, 1,4-dioxane, and tetrahydrofuran. When the reaction temperature is too low, the reaction does not advance at an advantageous speed and when it is too high, the medium is decomposed. Therefore, in general, it is selected from the range of room temperature to 300° C., and more preferably, it is carried out in the range from 50 to 150° C.

[0041] The intermediate of the present reaction is sensitive to oxygen, therefore, it is desirable to carry out the reaction in an inert gas atmosphere such as nitrogen, argon, or methane. The isolation and purification of the product from the reaction compound can be easily achieved with well-known isolation and purification methods that have been normally conducted in this field such as chromatography, distillation or recrystallization.

[0042] In addition, in order to efficiently promote the reaction of the diene compound expressed by the general formula (IV) and the secondary cyclic phosphonate esters expressed by the general formula (V), the use of a palladium metal medium is essential. When there is no medium, the reaction does not advance or is extremely slow. A medium with a variety of structures can be used, but those with a low valence are preferable, and a zerovalent complex with a ligand of a tertiary phosphine or a tertiary phosphine is preferable. In addition, it is a desirable means to use an appropriate precursor complex that can be easily converted to a low valence complex in the reaction system. Moreover, it is a desirable means to have a complex that does not contain a tertiary phosphine or tertiary phosphine as a ligand, and where a tertiary phosphine and tertiary phosphite are used together, and a low valence complex with a ligand of a tertiary phosphine or tertiary phosphite is formed in the reaction system.

Examples of a complex that does not have a tertiary phosphine or tertiary phospite as a ligand, which is used in combination with the above are, a bis (dibenzylideneacetone) palladium complex and a palladium acetate complex, however it is not limited to the above. Examples of a phosphine complex and a phosphite complex that are preferably used are, a dimethylbis (triphenylphosphine) palladium complex, a dimethylbis (diphenylmethylphophine) palladium complex, and tetrakis (triphenylphosphine) palladium complex.

[0043] One of two or more appropriate palladium metal mediums of the present invention, depending on the reaction are used.

[0044] The amount of these complex mediums can acceptably be called a medium amount, and in general, it is sufficient to be 20 mol % or less per diene compound. The usage ratio of the diene compound and the secondary cyclic phosphonate esters is, in general, desired to be a 1:1 mole ratio, however, being greater or less than this value does not hinder the promotion of the reaction. A medium does not need to be used during the reaction, however, it is possible to be carried out in a medium as required.
